PLAYLAND ARCADE by Bob Lord

"The best kind of sensory overload." - Glide Magazine

"PLAYLAND ARCADE is a fun and exhilarating listen, dynamic and very well put together, brimming with unexpected diversions... It’s slick, skillful and compelling." - The Progressive Aspect

“Bob is kind of like a musical Picasso... Lord’s vision and execution are masterful.” - Geoff Wilbur Music Blog

“I love your version of ‘The Backward Swan.’ I listened to the tracks on your album and found them to be very creative and extremely good... I would describe your approach as music for the intellectual, with broad hints of classical and jazz as well as pop and rock. I loved being taken on a musical journey with surprises like you have in the songs as these tracks unfold." - Guitar legend Duane Eddy

The debut solo release by producer, composer, and bassist Bob Lord, featuring Jamie Perkins (The Pretty Reckless), Duncan Watt ("League of Legends" composer), Andy Happel (Thanks to Gravity), Ed Jurdi (Band of Heathens, Trigger Hippy), and the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Lord is the Executive Producer of three GRAMMY-nominated albums in 2020 and 2021, and in 2015 was named one of Musical America’s “30 Professionals of the Year: Key Influencers."

With Pete Townshend of The Who, he co-produced the double album METHOD MUSIC by Lawrence Ball, released in 2012 on Navona Records and hailed by Pitchfork for its “wondrous, rippling, and startlingly tactile music.”

Lord is the music producer of WILD SYMPHONY, a symphonic suite composed by the #1 NY Times bestselling author Dan Brown (“The Da Vinci Code”) which accompanies the illustrated children's book of the same title released in 2020.

In 1996 Lord co-founded the award-winning group Dreadnaught, described by Relix Magazine as “the country's best 'pure' prog-rock combo.” Dreadnaught's 25th anniversary album NORTHERN BURNER is set for release in Summer 2021.
